Budweiser Clydesdales to Make Guest Appearance at 19th Annual Made In America Tours Event

Published: 05/23/2017

YORK, PA - The 19th Annual Made in
America Tours Event returns this June 14-17, with a special guest appearance
from the iconic Budweiser Clydesdales at this year's celebration of the Factory
Tour Capital of the World®.

Nearly 30
participating locations will offer exclusive, behind-the-scenes looks at the
making of some of America's favorite products during the Made in America Tours Event, which is organized each year by the York County Convention &
Visitors Bureau.

This year's
event features four new stops: H&K Woodworking, Miller Plant Farm, Woolen
Mill Fan Company and the Stewartstown Railroad Company.

"Made in
America Tours showcase the manufacturing ingenuity that makes York County the
Factory Tour Capital of the World®," said Louise Heine, Destination Marketing
Director for the York County CVB. "An exciting lineup of tour locations takes guests onto expansive production floors and into
visitor-friendly artisan shops for a first-hand look at the American
craftsmanship that makes York County so special."

Visitors can explore all their factory tour
favorites, such as Harley-Davidson
Motor Company, Vehicle Operations; Snyder's of Hanover; George's Furniture, the
York Time Institute and Sunrise Soap Company.

While guests
will marvel at handcrafted products during Made in America, they'll also learn
how Print-O-Stat's graphics division works on everything from T-shirt printing
to vehicle wraps and see how Microtrac uses lasers to build instruments that
can examine everything from bacteria to buckshot.

The fun
extends beyond the production line, with museums, railroad attractions and
educational experiences like the Teaching Museum for the Fiber Arts &
Textiles opening their doors for Made in America.

Visitors can
experience two working dairy farms, where petting calves and watching feeding
time are favorite treats for all ages of visitors.

The fun
begins with a special Made in America Kickoff, starting at 9 a.m. Wednesday,
June 14, at Brewery Products Co., 1017 N. Sherman St., York, Pa. Attendees can enter to win an Explore York gift basket, plus have the chance to meet
some special guests - the Budweiser Clydesdales! The iconic horses will be
stabled at Brewery Products from June 13 through June 18.

"The
Budweiser Clydesdales are an American institution and certainly fitting guests
for the Made in America Tours Event. We encourage everyone to visit these
iconic horses while they're stabled at Brewery Products and then set off to
explore the rest of the Made in America stops," Heine said.

In addition
to the kickoff, Made in America visitors can also see the Budweiser Clydesdales
on Thursday, June 15, and Friday, June 16. Visit Brewery Products' Facebook
page for a full schedule of Clydesdale-related activities.

A full list

lodging packages to extend the Made in America experience are available at www.yorkpa.org.

The official
Made in America Brochure will be included in the June 11 edition of the York
Daily Record/Sunday News. Copies will also be available at all participating
locations.
